Installing Dock Inserts for iPod

The iDac comes with several dock inserts that accommodate compatible 
iPod models. After identifying the proper insert for your particular iPod, 
position it in the dock with the two slits inside the insert facing the front of the iDac. It should 
click in to place over the multi-pin connector. You can remove the inserts by applying gentle 
pressure to the inside back of the insert and pushing upward.

Connecting Your iPod

After installing the dock insert you can connect your iPod. Slide the iPod gently into the dock 
insert making certain to properly align the connector in the insert with the connector on the 
bottom of your iPod.  Do Not Force the iPod down on the connector. You may damage it 
and cause it to malfunction. You should only need a gentle but rm push to make the proper 
connection.

The Remote Buttons for Your iPod

the current track, or if the song is 10 seconds or less in to the track it will shift to the beginning of

when pushed.

function of the iPod. (2) Holding this button down for a couple seconds will “select” the highlighted

or Scroll up and Scroll down: These buttons allow the user to scroll up or down to access 

songs or playlists within the menu function. Remember: Holding the Menu key down for a 
couple seconds will perform the “select” function. (See #2 Menu on the Remote Control 
page.)

Performance Plus

We always recommend storing your music at high bit rates. If you use Apple Lossless or 
WAV les it will take up more storage space but certainly sound better. With a system like 
the iDac it will be immediately apparent that it sounds better than low bit rate les. For more 
information on performance optimization please visit our website at www.peachtreeaudio.com.

Static Charges and Voltage Surges

While the iDac has more than adequate ESD protection, it is always advisable to avoid static 
charges. They can sometimes cause your system to lock up or even damage it. Voltage surges 
and power outages can also create functional problems. We suggest re-booting the iDac 
and follow the reset instructions in your iPod manual if you suspect malfunctions due to a 
static charge, power outage or voltage surge.
